The Chicago Cubs are headed to the NLDS to play the Milwaukee Brewers, and it may be due to the defensive efforts of Dansby Swanson. "I don't think they give an MVP for defense this round, but I'd give it to [Dansby] Swanson," said Padres manager Mike Schildt to the media after game three of the Wild Card series. "Dansby Swanson absolutely beat us with his glove this series."
The Cubs' series win over the Padres was highlighted by several highlight reel plays by the two-time Gold Glove winner, who is in year three of a seven-year, $177 million deal.
